Battery Charging
WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from
the battery; the gasses coming from it are
highly explosive. Ventilate the battery well
during charging.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be
the result of a defect in the charging system or other elec-
trical component. If there is any doubt about the cause of
the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the
battery, see the Cleaning the Battery and Cables sec-
tion.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the Operator Safety section of this manual.
Charge the battery until fully charged. Do not charge at a
rate higher than 10 amps.
Seat Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever
(A, Figure 7), position the seat as desired, and release the
lever to lock the seat into position.
Gauge Wheel Adjustment
The mower gauge wheels can be placed in three positions
depending on the height of cut.
• When using higher cutting heights, set the wheels in
the lower position.
• When using lower cutting heights, set the wheels in the
upper position.
NOTE: Do not allow wheels to remain on the ground con-
stantly while mowing.
1. Remove the locknut (A, Figure 8), gauge wheel (B),
washers (C), and shoulder bolt (D). Change position of
gauge wheel to desired height.
2. Insert shoulder bolt (D) through washers (C) gauge
wheel (B), and gauge wheel bracket (E). Secure with
